Okay, the final box office comparison between the two Diwali releases Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardar, before we begin our extensive coverage of Aamir Khan’s Talaash.
The topic of debate over the last week on social networking websites and in the comments section here - Which film won the Diwali battle? Well, there is no clear winner. Here’s why.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan was expected to beat 3 Idiots. But let’s be realistic, the film would never have crossed 200 crores, even if the word-of-mouth was as strong as Chopra’s last film Veer Zaara. But despite the clash, not-so-popular music and 3 hour runtime – JTHJ has done reasonably well at the box office. Yes, business in India hasn’t been record-breaking, but how many romantic films in recent times have managed to collect half as much as JTHJ has?
The trade was confident Son Of Sardar would do well, and it has. On paper, JTHJ had almost everything in it’s favour – massive star cast, legendary director, oscar-winning music composer and a much wider release. Yet, SOS is likely to end it’s run just 10-15% short of JTHJ’s total.
As expected, the SRK – Katrina Kaif starrer quite easily won the first extended weekend with a lead of Rs 15 crores. Since then, both films have done similar business with SOS putting up better numbers in the second weekend.

keep dreaming n barking haters. SRK is rulling scilently. Cheersssssssssssssss
@nilesh…ok….i admitted…

I THINK IT IS A HISTORICAL MOVIE…
in what aspect….u better know…:)
keep dreaming n barking haters. cha_kka SRK is rulling
scilently. Cheersssssssssssssss
A Man of His KIND dont need a Certificate of Superstar from u guys. He rules the Bollywood from last 2 decades. Also i agree there r only there Super Stars 1. Salman 2. Akki & 3. Aamir
But there is only one Super Duper Star The King of Not Only Bollywood but also Universal Size KING.
SOS won the battle because with lesser screens it has same distributor share as JTHJ lol domestically.
“When Akshay try different like Patiala House result we all knows.”
haha if that is the case what is OMG? that isn’t a masala or slapstick comedy, it is a satire and offbeat film. patiala house failed because it released in akki’s bad phase just after negativity sarrounding tmk. This year he has hit in 3 different genres, comedy (Houseful 2), action masala (Rowdy Rathore), Offbeat film (OMG) and now action comedy (Khiladi 786)
why is my comment always under moderation?

Ok Haters
Give JTHJ to any so called superstar like Salman, Ajay, Akshay or even Aamir and make a clash with Masala entertainer then see the result.
U will urself find the truth who is King or who is not.
SRK is choosing right scripts. We have no regrets. atleast he has gutts to do all kind of cinema.
Like Sci-Fi Ra.One
Slick Action Don-2
Pure Romantic JTHJ
truly winner our King
Look at Aamir he tried to do different with Dhobi Ghatt we all knows the result and Box Office Collection. We will also see the Lifetime collection of Talaash.
Other So called Superstars r insecure and playing a safe game to do Routine Masala Entertainer. Coz they dont have faith in them. They Cant take risks.
But our King is Barve enough to take risks.
Look at SRK he knows Yash Raj Films r one of those who made his carier and bravely agree to do movie whenever they want.
Also look at selfish Salman Sooraj Bharjatia made his career and he keeps him waiting. Coz he knows that now a days its not easy for him to take a risk for Family Drama. He knows his strength. So he prefer the Kick & Sher Khan. So unsecure. Poor King Lolzzzzzzzzzzz
But Badshah to Badshah hai. SRK ko milne wale Names ko other so called stars apnay sath tag kar k proud feel kar rahay hain hahahahaha loosers. They called them selves King. But SRK never calls himself a King. Media and Fans gave him these honours.
So good going SRK. Keep Rocking & Keeping Experimenting.
SOS is clear winner bcoz it released in much lesser screen n lower class center where hindi film didnt release before
JTHJ made 170 crores worldwide, SOS made 109 . Budget of Jthj was 45 but SOS’ budget was 80 crore. Do the math and tell who’s winner.10 out of 13 distributors lost money in SOS coz of high prices. That’s the key!!!
I MEAN TO SAY
‘JAB TAK HAI CHA.KKE SRG.A Y KI GA ND ME JAAN
WAS THE
CHU.TIYASTIC blockbuster..
BOBBY DARLIING rockzzz!!! sab ka baap one and only
BOBBY !!!
waiting for his GAN D ME JAAN 3 and CHA KKE!!!!
